Here’s Why You Should Learn To Service Your Own Watch
“Here’s Why” is back with a new installment, and today I focus on a topic very near and dear to many of you out there: servicing a watch.
As has become apparent over the past few years, getting your watch serviced, especially with any group-owned brands, can be a major thing. It can take many months, and even up to a year to get a watch back from a simple maintenance service.
The reason, of course, is that there are only so many qualified watchmakers to service these watches, and brands are overrun with a gargantuan backlog of service requests.
That is the cost of success, I guess. This means that while your watch is gone for nine months, it is probably sitting in a very long queue of watches waiting for their turn at the bench.
Once your watch gets opened, the servicing may only take a day (in many cases) as the movement is disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled before being adjusted and timed for accuracy. Then the watch is sent back to you along with a bill for a sometimes princely sum.
That doesn’t even take into account that some brands will choose what service a watch needs regardless of what you sent it in for. Usually a watch will need at least one part replaced, and many will have the cases refinished, adding time and cost to the owner.
There have even been stories of vintage watches going in for a cleaning and coming back with new dials, completely destroying the collector value of the piece.
Brands do state that the goal is to return the watch in the best condition possible. Let’s not forget, watchmakers are also perfectionists, so it’s in their nature.
But it’s also not surprising in another way; consider that almost any automotive repair shop will tell you what else they found in need of repair hoping for more work. There have been laws passed making it necessary for auto repair shops to inform the client and ask permission before performing any additional repairs.
This is not so for watch brands.
At least not yet.

The NAWCC (National Association of Watch & Clock Collectors) in Pennsylvania runs regular courses on how to service a watch
The backyard mechanic . . . or watchmaker
Granted, there are not a lot of backyard watchmakers heading to local watchmaking part stores to buy generic balance wheels and OEM replacement dials to make sure their watches run smoothly for the daily commute. It’s a different business and a different product, so the comparison gets muddled.
But I am here to say that you should consider becoming a backyard watchmaker, tinkering in your garage (or study or kitchen) and doing a complete tear-down and rebuild of your mid-1990s TAG Heuer or your late-model IWC.
How else will you truly learn about the engine on your wrist, and what it takes to maintain it?
Before the collectors among you shout, “Only original parts and work by the manufacturer on my watch, otherwise it kills the value!” just stick with me until the end.
Let’s take the automotive analogy and run with it for a while. When I was young, my father worked on all of our cars and encouraged me to help and learn. That way, when I was older and had my own vehicle, I could at least take care of it, do the basic maintenance, and understand problems as they arose.
Being fairly mechanically inclined, I learned as much as I could so that I wouldn’t have to take my car to the repair shop and pay high shop rates.
As I got older, I encountered problems that I could fix on various vehicles, but eventually I also encountered problems that were beyond my skill to repair. They were also beyond my tools – and they also required a good connection to even get certain parts.
This is what the watch industry is like in many cases. A majority of people who love and buy watches will not even have a tool for changing a watch strap, let alone a case knife, or a decent set of tweezers and watchmaker screwdrivers.
Actually, I wouldn’t be surprised if many laugh at the idea of a “good” set of tweezers and might assume a screwdriver set for eyeglasses is more than adequate.

The flip side of the coin
And yet those same people might have a garage full of Snap-On tools, including many specialty tools for working on their cars and bikes. That’s because they know what it takes and costs to upkeep and service a car, but most of us don’t grow up learning to service watches.
And following the quartz crisis in the early 1970s, it simply has been a specialty skill that has become rarer than ever.
But even so, in the last decade or two the number of people tinkering with watches has been growing steadily, as has the number of people wearing vintage timepieces. This upswing might be said to coincide as people may want to work on their new purchases instead of trying to find a neighborhood watchmaker that can ensure that their vintage Seamasters are keeping accurate time. Instead of paying Omega to repair them, possibly replacing parts and whatever else along the way.
And that is exactly why many people work on their own cars, because as long as they can fix them for less and with the tools they have on hand, it seems like a much better proposition.
Of course if you have a 1960s Ferrari or a mid-century Patek Philippe chronograph, both driver and WIS might need to have their objects professionally serviced lest they destroy one of only a dozen in existence.
Reality sets in
But in all honesty, most watches aren’t anything special, really, and treating them as such is kind of a waste of time and a lost opportunity to really own and understand your own possessions.
Few classic cars are comprised if not fixed with completely original or branded OEM replacement parts. Work done on them was almost always done by general mechanics in local shops working with tools that you may also have at home. And those cars are still worth lots of money, not because it was only Ford who serviced that Mustang for the last 50 years, or because the oil was Ford oil; it’s valuable because the owner cared for it and made sure it stayed in the best possible shape for its entire life.
I do that with many of my possessions. The enabling power of working on your own things is incredible, and you begin to realize that paying to have something done that you can do yourself is silly.
I’ll bet that many of you have tinkered and toyed with your car at some point, or fixed your own bicycle when you were a kid. Or maybe you even took it upon yourself to learn a new skill specifically to fix something around the house or with an electronic gadget you bought.
Do it, really, just do it!
You have the ability to do that with your watch too, and very easily. Or at least you did. The other side of reality is that brands have become intent on limiting anyone’s ability to possibly service their own watches, or have them serviced by a qualified – but not brand-authorized – watchmaker.
Parts are nearly impossible to obtain, and trying to find a local watchmaker who does have access is like trying to find water in the desert.
But that also doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try. There are many places to buy tools, and for relatively little money.
Granted, I have purchased the really nice tweezers and the very good screwdrivers to work on my watches, but there are good quality tools at affordable prices that can give you the ability to truly strip your watch down to individual parts, give it a very thorough cleaning, oil and reassemble it and have a watch that runs like new.
If you wanted to learn even more, you could advance to adjusting and timing your own watches and changing out broken parts for new ones (if you can get them).
Most may never make it to the level of replacing a broken balance staff or shaping a new hairspring, but then again I probably won’t custom make a new set of gears for my car’s transmission or fabricate suspension components on my own either.

How hard can it be to put these parts back together and add a few drops of oil? (image courtesy http://www.watchservices.co.uk)
But even if you get an affordable Seiko 5 (or, gasp, a cheap Chinese mechanical) as your first home service attempt and you completely ruin it, you will have learned loads in the attempt and not ruin your valuable watch.
And when it comes time to service your Rolex or something even more high-end, maybe the sting of a service will be a little bit less now that you know what they are doing and have an appreciation for the patience and skill it takes to do that with dozens of different watches every day.
And that is why you should learn to service your own watch: because it creates a complete picture of your watch for you to understand and it makes it your own. More practically, it makes the process of having it serviced seem less like a company stealing your soul and more like an expert performing advanced technical work on your machine, like a race shop tuning your Porsche.
Gaining skills is fun, and working on your own possessions makes a larger impact on your life than you might realize. And who knows, maybe if enough backyard watchmakers take up their tweezers and demand parts for their watches, the secondary parts market will exist again and local watchmakers will not just be a thing of the past.

No, the car analogy is lost when you are working on a watch movement that is less than 1% of the size of a car’s engine which houses many more fragile parts.
There is a reason a proper watchmaking education involves thousands of hours or training. If you plan to service your own watch be prepared to never see it functioning again, or to have to actually bring it to a competent watchmaker after you are finished playing around.
While I agree with you that working on a watch is very different than a car, the analogy is by no means lost. It comes down to working on your own possessions to foster an appreciation for the skill it takes to seriously work on them. Most people will not do an engine swap, let alone a simple oil change, as most people will never do anything more than change a battery in a quartz or maybe pull the caseback off and oogle at their movement. As I said in the article. Focus on the last few paragraphs for the takeaway from the article, that you should learn so that you understand it is hard and it makes servicing a nice watch seem like a good investment to be had done by a professional.
I have 100+ hours into this and have successfully cleaned, oiled and regulated about a dozen watches. I have not taken any courses on watchmaking. This is doable if the person put their mind to it. I spend several hours a day on this and the skill can be picked up rather quickly if you can read too, lol.
Both the article and your comment definetly gives me the motivation to continue my path for servicing and trouble shooting a vintage Omega Seamaster Cosmic. I am currently practicing on a chinese replica movement, but loving every minute of it. I keep upgrading my tools as i expand my understanding for them.
What you say is absolutely right. I speak from harsh experience. Three movements in a non-working state. I should eat two for the third has been a partial success.
However, my local watchmaker has laughed all of this of. Even the late great George Daniels ruined movements on the way to becoming the great watchmaker England has produced in two and a half centuries. He was self-taught.
Every boo-boo I have made sharpens my knowledge a little more. Inexpensive Chinese clones of the ETA UNITAS 6498 are a good start. Would not recommend stripping a Swiss vintage watch without enough experience though
It is satisfying to see a balance wheel rotating furiously and the watch keeping good time after a reassembly. A very “enabling” feeling.
I noticed with amazement you mentioning a late model IWC to be repaired by a novice.
I have often been asked advice, as a professional watchmaker, by young people contemplating entering the watch repair trade. As I’ve said numerous times, repairing fine timepieces requires the skills of a micro-surgeon, the patience of a saint, and the proper coordination in finger dexterity. Very often a watchmaker works with tiny screws invisible to the naked eye. The tolerances of regulating a hairspring or oiling a shock unit is such that it takes years of training and experience.
It takes at least two years to learn the very basics of the trade followed by a few years of hands-on experience with different types of watch repairs before one can expect to have a handle on what he or she is doing.
Too many so-called repairers end up butchering expensive watches with no clue what may have been routine service or complicated repairs. To advocate self service on any expensive timepiece for someone who doesn’t have the skills, knowledge, and experience is preposterous. And, furthermore, even a well trained watchmaker with years at the bench needs specialized equipment costing tens of thousands of dollars.
Proper education and knowledge by consumers of the fine timepieces they own which require periodic maintenance and service will go a long way to alleviate any temporary frustrations of waiting for professional service.
Jack Freedman
Thank you very much for your thoughts as you point out many of the reasons why learning to service your own watch (probably on something very cheap) will help educate you as to why watches require periodic maintenance and why sending it to certified professionals is a worthwhile endeavor. I said as much in the article, especially in the closing paragraphs. This is exactly why I wrote the article, to get a lot of people interesting in trying (hence the links to training) so they realize servicing a watch is hard, and very important. Thus the frustration will reduce as the public knows more!
Joshua,
Having read many previous articles from you I know that you are very knowledgeable about the world of horology. Yet this one about servicing your own watch seems too simplistic in many ways.
Patek Philippe in NYC recently opened a class for watchmaking and out of 300 applicants only 6 were found qualified and accepted as future potential watchmakers. Statistics across other watchmaking schools show that after two years of class the dropout rate is very high. The rigorous demands of skill and discipline is such that only a small percentage of students can find their way as future watchmakers working for others or as independents.
The title and contents of your article seems to suggest that just like fixing your car one can fix his own watch. For the overwhelming majority of consumers that is simply not so. Many years ago I knew a novice who kept buying more tools each passing week thinking that those were the keys to his goals. As you apparently know, watchmaking is a highly specialized field which few individuals are capable of practicing.
I’m all for education and knowledge but as for self service my advice is stay away from any expensive watch with a ten foot pole. As a friend commented in an e-mail to me yesterday: That reminds me of the old sign in the auto shop I saw many moons ago. It went something like this:
RATES
$10 an hour
$15 an hour if you watch
$20 an hour if you tried to fix it yourself before bringing it here
Regards,
Jack Freedman
I completely agree. The title is even borderline offensive, not taking into account that many people lack the fine motor skills needed for servicing a modern wrist watch.
Well said, thank you!
Is that title really offensive, John? If we published an article on “10 reasons to travel to Hawaii this winter” should we always add the caveat: “of course only if you have the time and money.”
I’d like to think there is some leeway for brevity in headlines and that they don’t require caveats like “only suitable reading for those with the required motor neuron skills.”
I’m sorry for the little rant, but “borderline offensive,” wow.
I have met the gentleman who teaches the NAWCC course. He states that you won’t learn to properly service a watch in his course.
If you want to learn to service a watch, enroll in a two year SAWTA watchmaking program. You will receive the most individualized instruction at OSUIT due to class size.
As a teacher of watchmaking, I totally agree that you should learn to repair your own watch. That’s how I got started. But, to tell people to jump in to servicing their Omega or IWC with no information about how to get the proper tools, parts and most importantly, training, is irresponsible. The writer has a total lack of understanding of what goes into a service, why it costs the amount it does and what aspects of repair are important. If you want to just tinker with your watches, go ahead, but don’t expect to be able to get the same level of quality as a professional watchmaker or even a running watch without investing a lot of hard work, time and money.
Thank you for your opinions, as you represent the type of people who will benefit the most from people having a better understanding of the servicing process! If someone were to stop reading the article after only halfway through and start tearing apart their IWC, then that is their own silly fault. I provided links to training at the bottom of the article, where people would learn the techniques, understand what tools to use, and then also realize how darn difficult it is for many people who are not already very capable with small tools. As for whether or not I have any understanding about what goes into a watch service, you are simply mistaken. But unless you have read every article by me and know that I made my own watch, regularly service watches, all without any “official” watchmaking training, you would have every right to assume I nothing of what I speak. But I do, and if you read to the end of the article you will see I do not really want people to just tear apart their own watches, I want people to know why it’s hard, why it’s important, and why they shouldn’t gripe about service and instead promote watchmaking to the next generation. It’s really about expanding knowledge for all!
You mentioned that you bought a lot of nice tools.
You didn’t mention any maintenance or dressing procedures for these tools.
Do you know how to dress tweezers and sharpen screwdrivers? If not, how do you think yourself capable or servicing a watch?
Anyone can open a watch up and take it apart. Doing so in an untraceable way that improves the timepiece is what an expert does.
Sadly so far all i can do myself is change the batteries and remove links etc on my watches. Would love to learn how to do more though.
Just reading the comment above, leaving no trace does seem like an art. I don’t worry too much with some of my watches as i’m not fussed if the caseback gets a little scratch myself.
I would respectfully suggest to both the author, and to those who point out that it takes years of experience and practice to be able to “mess about” in a fine watch, there is no reason anyone with a modicum of mechanical ability and patience cannot learn to do a COA on an average turn of the century watch In doing so, the novice is likely to gain a world of knowledge he isn’t likely to any other way. Not the least bit of knowledge will be learning that there is a great deal that he does not know There was a popular film starring Clint Eastwood, in which he said several times, “A man’s got to know his limitations”.. When Bob Goodman was teaching me clock repair, I was astounded to find out how much I really did not know. The same is true in learning watch (or automotive repair. So I would encourage any watch owner to get an inexpensive watch or two on one of the online auction sites, or buy an inexpensive mechanical watch new online, and have at it. If nothing else, you will learn that you don’t want to open the back of your wife’s Rolex.
I can teach any aspect of watchmaking to anybody who is interested in travelling to Le Locle. I’m also working on a, in my opinion, truly interesting worldwide solution (well, more of a “help”) to the spare parts problem. The biggest problem for anybody who wants to repair a watch is, as stated in the article, getting your hands on spare parts. I think anybody can learn to repair a watch but don’t expect it to be easy and don’t start training with a zillion dollar Greubel Forsey… unless you’re minted.
A few people have the mechanical ability.
A few of those have the desire.
A few of those have the patience.
Know which few you are in and you’ll be fine.
I have little doubt that I COULD do it. But I’d throw that $10000 faquer across the kitchen more than likely.
Maybe. Maybe not. Nice write up. I have worked in another skill set and I’ve put almost 15-20 years degree/ learning/working. I kinda understand the backlash from the vets here. Hacks daily that tell me they can do my job. I dunno some yes and many no. Everything seems easier until you really try it…I respect all watch repair people, but I gotta try it since my guy has f up my tag battery/seals so many times. It’s no antique or expensive. But I’ve had it 20 years and means alot more to me than him, I’ve noticed. Tag service cost more than watch is worth…and I tell my guy the seals to fix and he still forgets…I’ll try myself next time to fix it.
When I was a kid my dad used to tinker with watches. He eventually became the town’s acknowledged lay watchmaker and supplemented his income repairing watches.
I learned a lot from him and at the age of about 16 did a correspondence watchmaking course ( Milwaukee School of Watchmaking).
I paid a lot of my way through medical school repairing watches.
I am now an ENT surgeon and my little watchmaking diploma hangs on my wall in my office alongside my medical qualifications..
I occasionally still tinker with watches, but will stay clear of any expensive timepiece!
“But in all honesty, most watches aren’t anything special, really, and treating them as such is kind of a waste of time and a lost opportunity to really own and understand your own possessions” Wow, you are a great writer.
I feel like it’s unnecessary for an article like this to offend any experts. No reasonable person is going to read this article and take apart their rolex. Truly, I don’t need 20 years of watchmaking experience or to have 1 in 1000 giftedness in manual dexterity to change a seal or lubricate my $150 automatic seiko. To try it would in no way indicate any lack of respect for an expert watchmaker.
Well timely and interesting discussion. I actually used to restore vintage cars from the ground up. Also vintage fishing reels.
My wife and I are terminal collectors and find watches. I have always been interested in them and had a few old bulovas that I wear all the time. We a found a junk drawer lot of watches not long ago. Based on the rest of it it was untouched for 30 years or so. Mostly broken low grade watches but in among them was a square hamilton that was fancy, a ten unkown to me IWC solid gold cal 89, and a pie pan connie. They wind and keep time. I wore the iwc a while and its seconds accurate.
I had also bought a rolex explorer from 1960 for 2000 dollar that was never toched. Wore that awhile too but got nervous and sent it off to the rolex guy in salt lake city for service. His base fee is 400(ok). He called and said it need some wheels and a spring so it is at 700 today. Ok. It is still there.
I am not a rich guy but a retiree. I bought a couple books and some basic tools etc but havent gotten the nerve yet to tear apart one of my vintage bulova or recta watches. But I am going to try. I doubt I will attack the connie or especially the iwc. But there seems to be no one in phoenix who can assist. I dont want to sell unserviced valuable watches. Dont want to burn them up wearing them. But I cant spend 1000 dollars a watch either. Maybe sit on them and get one serviced once and a while. Ill wait for my explorer. See how the guy does. I just wish there was a local person to go to.
The icing was on a universal geneve 322 I found. Very nice steel watch needs a mainspring. I went to yelps high rated local guy and he quoted 450. I showed him the iwc (which needs the correct or close crown) and he quoted 450 on that too. I left and started reading “watch repair as a hobby”.
The essential qualities of a successful watch repair person are: fine motor skills and dexterity; good tools, including magnification with good resolution; patience; deliberation; attention to detail; immunization to impatience and sense of urgency. Learning on cheap or non-running units frees the mind. More complications equates with more fine parts, more likelihood of finding damaged ones that may be unavailable, and greater chance for doing your own damage; beyond that, the techniques are basically the same for cheap or expensive watches. Parts may be more available for pricey units, but cost much more. Cautious, slow procedures that one can reverse at each step give confidence towards a complete service, but know that special problems and actual manipulations of the regulating system likely require the training and skills of a real watch expert. The flip side is that by delving into the innards, one can probably better distinguish between a good service person and a hack.
The mechanical watch industry is in a schizophrenic stage, it seems, with more makers focusing on the imperious 0.001% market, yet strangling the outsourcing of parts to the very people they need to keep watches alive and running into the future; otherwise, the watches are just going to become more expensive piles of fancy metal. Collectors by and large want running watches, and service personnel deserve what they must charge to keep those instruments alive.
Phew! What a polarisation of opinions! I completely agree that an amateur working on ANY Swiss, or even Japanese watch movement without instructions is sacrilegious. But then, when a basic handwinding mechanical watch can be bought for less than $10 from China, why should we not encourage people to venture into this most interesting profession? Who knows, perhaps the next great watchmaker is whiling away his time surfing the net just because he thinks it is too complicated a task? If I can strip apart and re-assemble an inexpensive chinese watch to a good level of performance, then why not move on to the next level? Working on vehicles also need a lot of skill. The average carowner never does an engine overhaul- you need a machine shop for that, but may change the oil and the filter. Similarly, an average watchowner may not do a repair or even a full service on the movement, but may perform a change of strap, or polishing/buffing of the case. More interstingly- one can even buy separate compatible partsand assemble their own custom watch- an exercise that takes as much skill as “servicing” a dust clogged laptop, which many peple do on their own. The possibilities are endless. So many people experiment with electronics- and believe me, soldering on PCBs also require more or less the same set of skills as watchmaking. If those people can be introduced to the world of mechanical watches, then it will be a great contribution in saving the dying breed of watchmakers.
Even here in India, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find good watchmakers. I was talking to my friendly neighbourhood watch repairer today itself. He is very good at his job, but was lamening how work has become scarce, and his children are not intersted in this profession. At this rate, the art of making and repairing mechanical watches will slowly be lost forever.
P.S.: I myself have ordered a pair of <$10 Chinese see-through watches to see if I am any good at servicing a watch. At least I'd be able to disassembleand reassemble the watch, if not the movement and understand how the movement works.
I’m not a writer, but this style of writing somehow irritates me (No offence though). It’s like Youtube’s clickbaiting. What a world we living 🙂
Sorry, how is it clickbaiting? The title tells you what’s in the story: the author’s opinion on why you might want to learn to service your own watch.
Great article! I believe many watch owners don’t know about the importance of proper care and service.
Thanks a lot for sharing!
Tim
Your blog about heres why you should learn to service your own watch is more informative and I really like that!
It’s a pity you didn’t mention a key step for learning watchmaking – pocket watches. Large, and with little variation between models, they can be picked up for $10-20 and help you develop the motor skills to eventually move on to wrist watches.
Good idea to diy.. I have gold Daytona and Rolex is asking f*cking much money to service it.. I all ready ordered the tools to do it.. I give saved money to my kids after I am ready .. I am a brain surgeon so my hands are steady.
I loved your blog and thanks for publishing this about heres why you should learn to service your own watch!! I am really happy to come across this exceptionally well written content. Thanks for sharing and look for more in future!! Keep doing this inspirational work and share with us.
I like what you said about using OEM parts to replace your watch. I need to fix a watch from the 1950’s. I’ll have to take it to a repair shop for professional repair.
Try Ebay using the movement number as your search criteria. You may be able to find some movements or partial movements where you can scavenge parts. Many Swiss movements share parts with other movements. For instance, I restored and old Waltham automatic that had a UTC233 movement in it but parts were hard to find and the ones I did where too pricey. The Seiko 6601b is the same movement and parts and whole movements were plentiful and interchangeable.
I appreciate the way you shared such great information. I am happy to find such an informative post after so long. Hope more to come as I’m an avid reader. I tried to educate myself as much as possible.Because I don’t much know about ecosystem of Apple watch and what effect of ecosystem on apple watch so thank you so much to give this information.
To my knowledge; Daniels, Dufour, Journey, etc… were natural born watchmakers. One must start somewhere, where u end up depends on the individual. Six months ago I would have never had the ability to diagnose much less replace a roller jewel… my current project….
I am very tempted to try to do this myself, can you recommend a place to start, I sell vintage and antique jewellery and am sick of selling this gorgeous Art Deco silver marcasite bracelet watches as ‘needing a service’. The price of a service makes it impossible to make profit on, they are not expensive watches but why should only vintage rolex ect be worth saving. Any advice would be brilliant as I have about 10 of these now that I hope one day ill be able to service myself.
My profession dentistry involves fine motor skills and magnification so I feel some confidence in possibly servicing watches. But alas I am no expert and frankly I was looking for a blog that might have some advice on my particular watch. Changing a watch battery is a pretty common problem that in many cases does not require extensive training or high risk for timepieces that are not expensive. However, to change a watch battery does require tools, magnification, steady hands, and desire. A blog with people that are interested in watch skills and helping others seems like a good endeavor. Dentaltown by Howard Farran is such a blog for dentistry. I was hoping to get help on my calibre 9000 citizen but I haven’t found a breakdown on the internet yet. Thanks for the article Joshua. Tip: The case of this watch is not removed by screwing it off. I tried to get help before i attempted but dr google didn’t help me.
Great insights! I never considered servicing my own watch before, but your tips and the satisfaction that comes with it are really motivating. I’m excited to give it a try!
